Roommates

Ava no longer goes to bed quickly and silently. She does not cry or fuss either but has begun talk herself to sleep. It is so sweet and cute. (I just wish I could get it on tape!) Typically these conversations last about 20 min. both before she falls asleep and when she wakes up. The funny thing is that these conversations began upon the arrival of Ava’s new roommate, Nora.

I first saw Nora this Christmas and fell in love. You see elephants are absolutely my favorite animal and Nora is adorable. Unfortunately Nora was not in my Christmas budget or any budget for that matter… so I had to bid her Farwell. It was 2 months later when I stumbled into Pottery Barn Kids only to see one lone elephant rocker left, Nora. She was a floor model but in great condition and on sale for half off! Sounds great but half off was still not in the budget. Unable to leave her I asked how much they would sell the floor model for…answer… half of the sale price!!??? SOLD!!! And off to Ava’s nursery she went.

They have been instant friends and those conversations well, I am pretty sure it is Nora she is talking to… and how cute is that!

I love the spotted fabric of her ears and it even crinkles!

The first time Ava sat on Nora she laid her head on Nora's and snuggled!

Thanks so much for putting up video of baby Ava as I loved watching my baby niece walking for the first time this evening. I cannot believe it has almost been a year now and she is so big. I can’t wait to see her soon and see her with Eric, Lena and Sam. They will flip over when they see how she has grown. Give her big hugs and kisses from all of us and we hope to see you all soon…lisa and crew
